Good point. It could then be the case that sockets that have been open for a very long time will eventually roll off the end of the list and get dropped. Does this problem occur with both short and long videos. Does it happen with the first video viewed or only with later videos? P.S. Why would anyone who was interested in YouTube use a dial-up connection anyway? ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
